Summed it up for me when we were in their 20, last tackle play and bridge does a pooh kick when all it needed was a nice little delicate one behind the sticks, instead one bounce and for its out for 20 meter re-start.

Few minutes later, defending our own line, Dobson puts a neat kick in behind the sticks and therefore forces a drop-out, just summed it for me that. Briers back to stand-off, Bridge right centre ASAP

Watched the match on Sky.
Nip and tuck all the way.
HKR did just about enough to win it based on their 2nd half perfromance, but we weren't bad at all a couple of the tries were excellent.

We missed Briers nouce on the last tackle - particularly the grubber kicks into the in goal area - and we panicked in the last 5 mins after scoring our last try.

Was actually quite impressed with the backs going forward and King seems to be growing in confidence every game at the mo.
That's the TS influence.

I was frustrated at some of the silly pens we gave away - Mitchell's 2 in particular.

Even without Morley te forwards did well - Carvell and Rau in particualr.

Some daft pens conceded we eradicated this V Bradford and Hudds..
Poor kicking game...
We certainly missed the players we had on the sidelines..And we came up against a team in form and full of confidence....

As for Silverwood worst ref in the comp period...

As a Rovers fan i can say it was not our best performance of the season and in the first half we were poor. Can't comment on Wire but you have obviously improved tenfold since early season.
Both sides had players unavailable but in Fozzard, Gene, Walker, Lovegrove and Cockayne ......all these would have have made the starting seventeen IMO so our list probably covers yours in this respect.

Had some good banter with a few Wire fans after the match and actually met the w@nkaer with the drum

Your support was first class and probably equal in numbers to ourselves as the most support in Edinburgh.....on sunday, anyway.

Bridge was poo. Not a halfback.

Full credit to HKR, did the basics right and just about deserved the win. Justin Morgan deserves all the plaudits for turning a Championship side into GF contenders in 3 0r 4 seasons.Fantastic effort!

Dont think we can put this defeat onto losing Briers.We scored enough tries to win the game, and it was clear goal line defence was the main issue. Lee's presence would probably have worsened this.

The only player at the Halliwell Jones on our team this year that your fans wanted in their team hands down! He's a very good player, maybe not someone a lot of people would like as a friend but you cant say he's an awful player he's deffo got talent.

He isn't even half the player Briscoe is.

The Warrington discipline was absolute shocking and i thought we missed Morley.

Having 3 young and relativly inexpirianced forwards in the team was probably our only choice but Morley would have added more go forward. The disapline was shocking noticeably by Carvell and Bridge.

When we started to throw the ball around we were quite literally ripping them apart out wide, why we reverted back to one man rugby for the second half was beyond me.

Riley was a solid performer, Monaghan and Vinnie again had one of there better games, Bridge made some good breaks but his decision making let him down a little.

Ben's versatility is his strength not just full-back.
First name on 17 as impact back

Where did you get this info from? He's a penalty machine and a turnstile, he makes Kevin Penny look like Nathan Hindmarsh. The Paul Dickov of rugby league.

Other than Greenshields and Wellens who is half the player Briscoe is??

Benny isnt just a full back he's been coming on at numerous positions and often replaces Murrell at loose man where he is given a free role causing havoc accross the field.

Anyway enough of someone who didnt play in that game fact is we had 5 first team regulars out of our team and you had 4/5 too so I see that Briers could have offered more of a kicking game and your forwards for the defence in the middle of the park but with our full strength team maybe we'd have done more in defence and attack too. You play what is in front of you and we just managed to nudge the game, Tony Smith nailed it, you play like that or fractionally better and you'll win more than you lose, get your play maker back and you'll be on song no doubt.

Fair assesment(apart from Cockayne)

The fact we got within 8 points with a non-existant kicking game must surely auger well for the future

Don't expect rational thoughts from this board.
